This one is almost too good to pass up. It's well know that Fox News heavily promoted if not took charge of the Republican Tea Bag protests scheduled for today. Three months ago protesting the President of the United States warranted an un-American charge from Fox News, but today since the Republicans are totally wiped out of power it equals great patriotism. But here's Fox News' Neil Cavuto caught on camera completely lying about the turnout in Sacramento today.
My favorite has to be Steve Benen's red-handed catch of Tea Baggers in Chicago who know absolutely nothing about American history or absolutely nothing about why they are protesting. In short, while being interviewed on CNN a Tea Bagger responds that Obama should be more like Lincoln. His reasoning is because Lincoln didn't try to tax all our money away. As Steve notes, it was Lincoln that not only issued in the largest expansion of federal powers in American history but also the first to issue an income tax. What Benen doesn't mention is that Lincoln also left the nation completely broke. Somehow I don't see Lincoln complaining about his fellow Illinoisan as president.
Really it's not entirely these people's fault that they are stupid. The blame largely belongs to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for feeding their minds with complete lies. Only in the Republican Fantasy World is Lincoln a small government conservative.
